At the last meeting of the County Com
miseioners, held at Enterprise this week,
they authorized the calling of an election in
Volusia county on Dec. l. They also
granted license to one saloon, o. A. Mil
ard, in Enterprise, and the proprietor inn
mediately threw open his doors that all
dry men might quench their thirst, which
they did largely. An appropriation of
81 300 was made for the Sub Tropical Ex
position, and it was stated that private sub
scriptions would swell the amount to at least
5000.
DIR. Richmond is doing fine work in behalf
of immigration. By his lectures over the
county he is awakening much interest and
accomplishing great deal of good. Up to
Friday of last week he had succeeded in
organizing five immigration societies as fol-
lows: Yalaha, 10 members; Leesburg, "a;
Riverside (Helena), 81; Lane PARK, 10; Eus-
It's, 8. The membership at each place has
subsequently been considerably increased,
and DIR. Richmond is still going on with his
work. Each member of these immigration
societies pay a fee of 81, half of which goes
to the State Executive Committee and the
other half is retained for home expenses.

Oakland Sun: In a conversation with
w. G. c. Killgore, of Wildwood, we learned
the following interesting facts; The famous
SO0-acre orange grove-the largest in the
world-of Ralph King, originally of Cleve-
land, o., IS making fair progress. About
POO acres are now in grove, of which $50
acres are bearing, in spots. This portion of
It was originally wild grove, and since
March has been budded with sweet stock,
fifty hands being employed at first, but
about thirty now. II cost about So, 900 at
the start, and $4,000 has since been de-
posted for improvements. 1t will take
about four years more to complete this great
grove, which will then be without peer.
1t is to be enclosed with strong wire fence,
8 feet high, to prevent deer from jumping
over
Since Mr.. Papot has been in business in
Orlando he has reduced the price of brick
from SIS to IS Is per thousand, shingles
from s. to So So and lumber from $25 to
Sl4. The brick he is handling is made at
Tallahassee, and besides being home manu-
facture is claimed to be superior to Georgia
brick. MesSrs. Papot and Bowman went
TO Sanford Thursday to sell Tallahassee
brick, and they report selling 400, 900
brick in just seven hours. Mr. Papot says
he never saw more determined and hope
full people in his life, and thinks that though
the fire is a temporary setback it will in
the end be benefit. His sales amounted to
$4,000. 1t will take 233 cars to carry the
brick, or sixteen locomotives pulling four
teen cars each.
Fort Ogden Ne,0S The reported sale of
$4,000 head of cattle by Hon. Y. King, was
confirmed by general inspection and esti-
mate on the range last week, and an unu
sual number of tired horsemen and jaded
horses upon our streets at nightfall was the
visible evidence that the actual delivery of
that vast herd to the Manatee Cattle Com
pany was in progress. This is the first
move of the company toward the establish
ment here of beef-canning factory, which
will dispose of the annual product of herd
of 40, 100 head. Lands are being selected
for closer grazing and improvements in the
quality of the range, and eventually of the
grade of beef fed. While some details are
incomplete, we have the assurance that
everything will be arranged for the com
pletion of the work at once, and we shall
soon be enabled to give satisfactory details.
Mathew j. Tucker, who resides with his
father at Buffalo Ford, on Peace creek,
about seventeen miles from Barlow, con-
cluded he would accompany his father to
Barlow last Tuesday, so he shouldered his
rifle and started through the woods, placing
a younger brother in the wagon to drive
He had not gone far before he captured
young fawn, and when he had travelled
about three miles toward the city he ran
upon large panther making his dinner out
OF the carcass of a grown deer she had lust
killed. A bullet through her heart from
the trusty rifle of Mr. Tucker brought her
to the dust. The panther measured Z feet
from tip to tip, and the scalp, ON showing it
to the Judge of the County Court, brought
him S. as a reward from the county, be-
sides he has the skin to sell He also sold
the fawn at once for s., making a profitable
day out of a necessary trip to the city.
The Tampa Tribune of Thursday says
Great excitement was caused in our city
on Wednesday by the report that Mr. Nc
Kinzie, one of our well-known citizens, had
the yellow fever, and that there were quite
a number of other cases in the place. The
Office of DIR. Wall was soon beSieged by a
crowd of anxious and excited inquirers
The doctor told all who asked that the case
had all the symptoms of yellow fever, but
that there were quite a number of cases of
dengue in the city, and that this might only
be an aggravated case, caused by the habits
of the patient. and advised all who felt
frightened to leave town. DIR. Plummer of
Key West, happened to be in town, visited
the casa, aud agreed with DR. Wall DR..
King Wyllv, President of the State Quaran-
tine Association, a physician of large ex-
perience in yellow fever, was teegraphed
for, and arrived about 3 O'Clock in the after
noon, was positive that all of them but Nc
kenzie was dengue, and rather believed
that his might only be an aggravated case,
and said he could not wath Justice pronounce
